Everyone looks great. C-A is such a cutie, she gets prettier every time I see pictures of her and Alexia is also a pretty little girl. I loved seeing constintine & laurentine and their children. The are growing so quickly.

The video was fantastic! Favourite parts:
- Watching Alexia tryin to stand and get off Maxima's knee
- I have to confess to being guilty of surpressing a giggle when Alexia fell over in the snow! I know its cruel but it was kinda funny, especially the way W-A hoisted her up by the hood of her coat 
- Amalia and Eloise playing together and eloise reaching over her shoulder to hold Maxima's hand.
- Claus-Casimir just for being his smiley self

What were W-A and Maxima saying at the end? (when they were right up by the cameras)
Did anyone else notice that W-A and Maxima were speaking to the girls in three languages? When Alexia started crying (the first time), and saying "Mama, mama," Maxima looked over and said "Mama's here, I'm right here" (collective awwww by reporters as Alexia gets handed to Max) then she said "I've got you." Maxima calmed her down, then said "(something that sounded like tienes) abajo con Ama? Con Ama?" Which was in Spanish- she said, down with Ama? (Amalia- probably what Alexia calls Amalia), with Ama? Then they started talking in Dutch (well, what I can only assume to be Dutch) (W-A talked mostly in Dutch, actually) The girls seemed to understand it all- smarties! I wonder they must speak a combination of the three at home.

If she talks spanish to them regularly, they will understand..
It is a very good thing, the younger you are, the easier it is for you to learn languages.

One of the journalists asked to the Prince of Orange: "When will you be King?"
The Prince (usually getting irritated by such an impertinent question) remained his charming self and answered: "The only person who knows this has just entered the building", meaning the Queen.
Probably the rude "That is none of your busines!"-remark in New Zealand has teached him a lesson.

Very cute especially Leonore!
Amalia was oddly quiet, the days where she would gabble and wave and be all vivacious at the photographers it seems are gone for now.. she looked overwhelmed

I saw also the video and like a lot...I love Amalia, she is growing very beautiful and she has already a very good humor to pose. I also love the way she and her cousin are together...
Alexia had a bad day or something, she is all the time trying to make mess...maybe the new baby will teach her a lot.
The use of three languages with the children is a very very good way to make that they will speak them in the future without problems...very good.

The video was very nice thay all looked happy and relaxed. The children were simply being children they don't smile or act on demand they tend to do as they feel especially little ones.

they weren't speaking in english to them, only in dutch and spanish. when máxima said "mama is here" to alexia, she actually said "mama is hier", which can sound like mama's here if you're not paying close attention
they said so themselves that they'll raise their daughters dutch and spanish. they'll learn english when they get older. :)

I also watched the video and I noticed that when Alexia fell in to the snow and cry very laudly , Amalia put her finger in the snow to understand what happened to her little sister. I find it very very cute. I think Amalia is very lovely elder sister for Alexia

The children are so beautiful. I really love C-A, she seems to have such a great personality. I love the picture of her and Eloise together. Can someone tell me what the age difference is? I also love the picture of Maxima with her arm around Eloise. To me is shows great closeness that will only help to support the princely family as they grow and the children as tey step into their future roles. No one but someone who has grown up in the eyes of the public can relate and I hope that Eloise and C-A continue to become friends as each girl grows.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. Everyone looks robust and healthy. Princess Maxima and W-A both look happy and content. Queen Beatrix look
thrilled with her grandchildren. The children are a joy to see. Thanks for posting.

What a beautiful family! Thanks a bunch for the pictures. Little Amalia seemed a little quiet this time though.
